- MIMO Multiple Antenna
- FIG. 6 illustrates structural views of a wireless communication system having multiple antennae.
- a theoretical channel transmission capacity may be more increased in proportion to the number of antennae. Accordingly, a transmission rate may be enhanced, and a frequency efficiency may be outstandingly enhanced. With the increase in the channel transmission capacity, the transmission rate may theoretically increase as much as a maximum transmission rate (R o ) corresponding to when using a single antenna being multiplied by a rate increase rate (R i ).
- R i min( N T ,N R ) [Equation 1]
- a theoretical transmission rate 4 times that of a single antenna system may be acquired.

- the transmission information having its transmission power adjusted may be expressed in a vector form as shown below.
- ⁇ may be indicated as shown below.
- W ij represents a weight between an i th transmission antenna and a j th information.

- a number of rows and columns in a channel matrix H which indicates a channel status, may be decided by the number of transmission/reception antennae.
- the number of rows is the same as the number of reception antennae N R
- the number of columns is the same as the number of transmission antennae N T . More specifically, the channel matrix H becomes matrix N R ⁇ N T .
- a rank of a matrix is defined as a minimum number of rows or columns, each being independent from one another. Accordingly, the rank of a matrix cannot be greater than the number of rows or columns.
- a rank (rank(H)) of channel matrix H will be limited as shown below. rank( H ) ⁇ min( N T ,N R ) [Equation 11]
- rank may be defined by a number of Eigen values that are not equal to 0, when an Eigen value decomposition is performed.
- yet another definition of the rank may be defined by a number of singular values that are not equal to 0, when a singular value decomposition is performed. Therefore, the physical meaning of a rank of a channel matrix may correspond to a maximum number of information, each being different from one another, that can be transmitted in a given channel.
- MU-MIMO Multiple User-MIMO refers to an operation performed by a base station, which is equipped with multiple antennae, for simultaneously serving multiple users (user equipments).
- the signal of one user equipment may act as interference to another user equipment. And, therefore, this may cause degradation in the overall system performance. Therefore, in order to properly perform data transmission/reception in accordance with the MU-MIMO operations, inter-user interference is required to be removed (or eliminated). In order to do so, the base station may perform signal processing respective to an interference removing method on a signal that is to be transmitted to multiple users.
- the base station may respectively encode an information block that is to be transmitted to each user equipment as an independent codeword.
- the encoded codewords may be transmitted in accordance with the interference removing method.
- the base station may perform transmission by using a method of removing (or eliminating or subtracting) interference in advance.
- the base station may perform transmission by using a method of removing (or eliminating or subtracting) interference in advance.
- the other user equipment (U 2 ) may receive the signal, which is transmitted from the base station, as though interference does not exist. And, therefore, a separate interference eliminating (or subtracting) operation may not be required to be performed.

- the composite channel H may be decomposed to a lower triangular matrix L and an orthogonal matrix Q.
- Equation 12 when MIMO transmission is performed by using a column of matrix Q as a beamforming vector, only the lower triangular matrix L remains in the signal, which is received by the user equipment.
- encoding may be performed by using a method of transmitting an element of the first row, the corresponding element being encoded without interference, while avoiding an interference element of the second row.
- an effective channel may be indicated as shown below in Equation 13. Accordingly, since a signal that is directed to one user equipment may be transmitted while having is interference pre-subtracted from a signal that is directed to another user equipment, the user equipment may be capable of properly (or correctly) receiving a signal from the base station without any separate operation for eliminating (or subtracting) interference.
- Equation 14 X H refers to a hermit matrix respective to matrix X, and X ⁇ 1 refers to an inverse matrix respective to matrix X.
- the effective channel respective to each user equipment may be expressed as shown below in Equation 15.
- the channel respective to each user equipment is configured to have the form of an identity matrix, eventually, the signal having the interference pre-subtracted may be received.
- an HARQ operation which is described below, may be applied as a method for controlling data reception failure.
- FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary hybrid automatic retransmission request operation.
- a new packet may be transmitted, and, when a NACK signal is received, a pre-transmitted packet may be retransmitted.
- a packet having encoding according to an FEC (Forward Error Correction) function applied thereto may be retransmitted. Therefore, when the data receiving end receives a packet and decodes the received packet, an ACK signal is transmitted if decoding is successful, and a NACK signal is transmitted if decoding is failed, and the received packet is stored in a buffer. Additionally, when a retransmission packet respective to the NACK signal is received, the received NACK signal is combined with the packet received in the buffer, and by decoding the combined result, a rate of successfully receiving the packet may be increased.
- FEC Forward Error Correction
- An HARQ method may be divided into a synchronous HARQ method and an asynchronous HARQ method depending upon retransmission timing.
- a synchronous HARQ method retransmission that is performed after a failure in an initial transmission is performed at a time point, which is decided by the system. For example, when retransmission is decided to be performed at each 4 th time unit (e.g., subframe) after a failure in performing initial transmission, information on the retransmission time point is not required to be additionally notified to the receiving end. Therefore, if the data transmitting end receives a NACK signal, a packet is retransmitted at each 4 th time unit up to a point when an ACK signal is received.
- a retransmission time point of a packet corresponding to the NACK signal may be varied by diverse factors, such as channel status, and so on.
- the HARQ method may be divided into an adaptive HARQ method and a non-adaptive HARQ method.
- the non-adaptive HARQ method an MCS level of the packet that is being retransmitted, a number of resource blocks that are being used, and so on, are realized as decided at the time of performing initial transmission. For example, when the transmitting end transmits data by using 8 resource blocks at the time of performing initial transmission, when performing retransmission in a later process, the transmitting end performs retransmission by using 8 resource blocks as well.
- the adaptive method corresponds to a method, wherein modulation scheme of a packet, a number of resource blocks that are used, and so on, vary in accordance with the channel status. For example, even if transmission is initially performed by using 8 resource blocks, with respect to the channel status in a later process, a number of resource blocks that is greater or smaller than 8 may be used to perform retransmission.
- the transmitting end converts the data packet to a sub-packet having a predetermined size, and, then, initial transmission and retransmission may be performed in sub-packet units.
- the receiving end may combine multiple sub-packets and may then attempt to perform packet decoding.
- the multiple sub-packets which are used for the initial transmission and the retransmission according to the HARQ method, are generated from one codeword packet.
- the multiple generated sub-packets may be differentiated by a length of a sub-packet and a starting point of a sub-packet.
- a sub-packet that can be differentiated as described above is referred to as an RV (Redundancy Version).
- RV Redundancy Version
- an HARQ operation may be performed as a method for receiving a number of RVs, which corresponds to a difference between a number of the overall codeword packets that are to be received and a number of sub-packets that are already received, and attempting to decode the received RVs.
- this method may be referred to as an HARQ operation of an IR (Incremental Redundancy) method.
- the above-described related art retransmission method is disadvantageous in that performance may be degraded in case retransmission is frequently performed as in the cell boundary users. More specifically, in case of a user located at a cell boundary, its signal intensity is weak due to its position being located at a distance further away from the base station, and interference caused by a neighboring cell is strong. And, therefore, even if the amount of information is enhanced by receiving a retransmission signal from the base station, the cell boundary user may have difficulty in recovering information.
- a method of having a neighboring user equipment perform the function of a relay node may be considered.
- Such relay node may be referred to as a user relay (UE-relay).
